This talk at the European Central Bank covers the failure of economic theorists of all persuasions, not only Neoclassical, to properly incorporate energy into their models of production, and the failure of Neoclassical economists to properly incorporate money and credit.

The major influences on Keen's thinking about economics include John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx, Hyman Minsky, Piero Sraffa, Augusto Graziani, Joseph Alois Schumpeter, Thorstein Veblen, and François Quesnay.
